Resident Evil 4 HD Hits PSN Tuesday, Plus Subscribers Get 50% Off

Now’s your chance to relive one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time. Resident Evil 4 HD will be released via PlayStation Network on Tuesday, September 20th. Five years after the Raccoon City outbreak, Leon S. Kennedy is back in action and on a new assignment. The President’s daughter has been kidnapped by a mysterious cult in Europe and it’s your mission to rescue her and make it out alive. The entire Resident Evil 4 experience (including all bonus content from previous versions) has been remastered in high definition and will be a treat for both new fans and RE veterans.

The Resident Evil franchise had its beginnings on PlayStation 15 years ago and to help celebrate we’re offering some sweet Resident Evil deals for PlayStation fans. At launch we’re going to be giving everyone five free RE4 avatars to anyone who purchases Resident Evil 4 HD. On top of that, all PlayStation Plus subscribers will get 50 percent off the price of Resident Evil 4 HD, bringing it down to just $9.99! To help get you caught up on the series leading up to RE4, we’re offering the PSone versions of Resident Evil 1 Director’s Cut, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis at 50 percent off for all PlayStation users and FREE to PlayStation Plus subscribers.

That’s a ton of Resident Evil content coming your way on the cheap, but it doesn’t stop there … check back next week for more details on Resident Evil Code Veronica X HD!

I must be the only person in the world who didn’t care for the motion controls on the Wii version. It just felt too weird. Just like with most of the motion controls, I just don’t have the same level of control that I have using a game pad. It was so awkward for me that I bought a Gamecube control for the Wii version. I also can’t achieve the same high scores on Mercs using the Wiimote setup.

From what I’ve read, the beef isn’t so much about the plat’ as it is the lack of console parity with the 360. If the 360 didn’t have 1000g then it’d be less of an issue. As it stands, the trophy values themselves are significantly skewed (eg. several ‘golds’ on the 360 are merely ‘bronze’ on the PS3). It’s the difference between 1000g and 200g for the same price. People just want to know why.

Pretty much, with only 12 trophies, it’s a shame there’s no platinum. And for all those that are pitching a dwarf about the XBL version having the 1000 Gamer Score, not true. It’s about the same as the PS3. About 12 achievements total. Want proof?

If the game is awesome which all Resident Evil’s are..trophies are the least of my worries.(my opinion)

Also for the people who say “xbox has 1000 points which makes it so much better”.,.I dont think you know how dorky and sad you sound. Really., WGAF about trophies when the real experience is in the game itself,.I turn off all notifications just to stay immersed and not have a friends gamename pop up or a trophy for getting 10 HS in a row pop up. i am still buying this to play on my HDTV,and i will love everybit of it all over again.

Shut up about platinum trophies, all of you. What are you guys, 12? The real issue here is the missing Move support. Why was an entire play style ignored? We have a peripheral that people would love to use for pointing and clicking, why wasn’t an already implemented once before control style ported over? As much as I’d love to play this again, I refuse to do so unless I hear about a Move support patch. A free Move support patch, Capcom. I know how greedy you guys are.

Mr. Mike Lunn, before I comment I don’t intend to come arcoss unappreciative of Capcom’s contribution to the gaming industry, Capcom has been a stong contributor for years and I’m thankful for what they’ve (you?) done through the 80’s and 90’s; with that said where have the company’s initiative gone? …Most of your content for the last 4-6 years have been under assessed and in most instances titles are released incomplete. Many on this forum are concerned with the lack of full trophy support and it is only fitting given the last few years, but I wasn’t surprised to find out you added a handful of trophies for a full length title. I’m still hopeful for the company’s success (or re-success), and I want to reserve critical judgement until I’ve completed the remakes scheduled this month, but given Capcom’s recent track record I will assume without question that the attention given to the upcoming re-releases will pale in comparison to what the developers at Team ICO did with the re-releases of ICO and SOTC. I have my fingers crossed for not being disappointed, but so far horrible trophy implementation is a step in the wrong direction.

LOL Omfg I can’t wait. LOL i got worried for a moment cuz I bought RE1 2 an 3 on my old account tht I don’t use anymore. I thought I might have to buy RE4 on the old account since Thts where the others r. But u guys r givin the other ones for free LOL I love u guys. Can’t wait to brag to my friend because she loves the RE series. (^_^)

YEAH BABY! lmfao, love all the resident evils, i already paid for the 3rd but im definitly getting the rest, plus i ALWAYS have plus so THANK YOU SONY, and YOUR WELCOME SONY or being a hardcore sony fan :D btw if any of u dont like this then im thinking you can afford stuff, cuz it cant be space problems, i have 160 and have like 30 disc based games and like 20 full games on my HDD and i only have a 160GB with 70 still to go, its all in picking and choosing your content :D LOVE YA SONY<3 :D

Here´s what I think crapcom has for us: RE4 $20 usd for non plus users. FIRST DAY DLC will be an unlock key to get platinum trophy with a price tag of $4.99. One week later we´ll get a MOVE SUPPORT DLC at $9.99!!

Oh, another Outbreak (or even rerelease) would be wonderful… but considering at E3 when they were talking about Operation: Raccoon City and stated that it was the first time in RE history that you could become infected, I’m sure they’ve forgotten all about both of those games.

I, like many other people, have already purchased this game for another console (3 consoles myself). If all I want to do is to play the game and enjoy it again, I will play one of those 3 versions I already own. I have no reason to pay money for another release of this game. This “port” doesn’t offer anything new to justify the expense. I was only willing to pay money again if it included platinum.

Wow, just wow this is going to be a really sweet buy, time to renew my PS+ subscription just for this incredible Resident Evil deal. RE4 is by far my favorite resident evil game and Leon my favorite character, Also can’t wait for Code Veronica.

If it had a platinum trophy I would buy it. @2, I am in the same boat you are and I know there are a lot of people who are skipping on it for that reason (they already own it, including me and no plat).

Im Glad I get to play 2 of my favorite Resident Evil’s again, but im really bummed about, the lack of platinum trophy. I will buy it regardless, but that is something the game should come with, im a trophy hunter! I dont care much about move support, im not a big fan in motion gaming.

@189: oh c’mon, why will they do that? just cause the wii version had it there’s no reason to include it, right? why will they do that when they can resale us the same game again in 6 months with added move support for “only” $15

Well, its official. Even though I am on Plus, I will be buying this game on 360 for the 1000 gamerscore since there is no Platinum. I’ll still get the older Resident Evils free thanks to Plus at least.
